questions re: upcoming musicals

Hi Everyone,

I'm planning an upcoming long-weekend visit in November to see a few shows and was wondering if anyone could help with a couple of questions.

First of all, Fiddler is listed as starting previews on Nov 12 but tickets are only on sale from Nov. 20 onward. Is it likely that additional seats may be released later, or does that mean they are likely to move the first preview date back from the 12th to the 20th (or are leaving room for that possibility as a contingency)?

Also, the list of Broadway Musicals on this website lists Sylvia and Misery, which i had thought were plays. Is the listing correct, or are they on the wrong list (musicals instead of plays)?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Both are plays.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

(The list of musicals is the one on this website):

One more question - does anyone know if there are any off-broadway shows this fall that have weekend performances at 4, 4:30, or 5pm? The time between shows on weekends is too long for just dinner but too short for going for a long walk in Central Park and then showering and changing afterward (mornings are better for that), so i try to add an extra off-broadway slot on trips whenever i can in between the usual matinee and evening times. I found a show called "Motherstruck" with weekend 5pm shows this fall, but couldn't easily find any others. (Suggestions where to look for listings by day/time for off-broadway shows are also welcome.) Thanks!

Thanks!

Edited to update: I ended up getting a ticket to New York Story for Sunday - i am not familiar with the performer but the subject looks interesting. I will wait until i have a running time for Saturday's performance of The Color Purple to figure out if there is enough time to go downtown by 5pm.

Thanks for the help!
